After landing in the capital, we'll rest for the night and head straight to the Chinese Academy of Sciences bright and early tomorrow morning!" said Tong Zhen.
"You even booked the tickets? Are you so sure I'll be able to clear my schedule and go with you tonight?" Ye Chen was left slightly bewildered by Tong Zhen.
